Dear family and friends (of which there were many!) I am shocked and saddened to find out about Ish's passing. We had a group of 4 that lived close by and went from kindergarten (called reception grade then) through high school. She organized our ladies reunion luncheons. We will all miss her deeply. My prayers are with her loved ones till we all meet at that final reunion in the hereafter. Love, Joyce ((Pallay) Guglielmo - Class of '57
My condolences to the McBride family. Noreen was a wonderful person and I have many memories of time spent with her at the Republican Club affairs. May she rest in peace.
I am so so sorry to hear of Ish's passing. Have been a friend of hers from HHS and she always got the ladies together for the luncheons we had and really enjoyed them when I was in town. She was a great person and will always be remembered. My deepest sympathy to you all and many prayers. Love, Judy (Sost) Hampson
